i didn't eat noffink, i had peanuts at another pub
TBH I think Hackney has always been a bit of a mix like that, right back to when I was growing up there in the early 80s.

Pub on the Park *finally* getting a lick of paint on the outside. I wonder if it's being prepared for sale (or has it been sold?!).

Good news. Might go and watch the footie there later.
much more staff there now, well there was on a friday night, and i meant more premium lagers, not more premium ales
Why not? You're a councillor, aren't you?

haggerston baths are beautiful inside and its a crying shame they've been allowed to deteriorate in the way that they have. but the council have been hard pressed impressing the m/c settlers in the posh wards and the council estate dwellers down haggerston can go get fucking orange as far as the council are concerned. hackney council hates places like haggerston cos there's a lot of issues and a little impetus, at least financially.
No date has been set for the reopening of Haggerston Baths so even I as a Councillor cant tell you the date.
By the way I have been deselected as a Labour Party candidate for Haggerston in the 2010 elections. Nargis Khan will be standing in Haggerston. She is currently a Councillor in Dalston ward but has been deselected by that wards Labour Party members. She holds Cabinet responsibilty for Community Services (such as Haggerston Baths) so any enquiries as to why the Cabinet has not set a date for the reopening of Haggerston Baths should be made to her at the Town Hall.

So...reading between the lines....the baths may or may not ever reopen, but with elections coming up, the Labour council has decided to "announce" that they will, only they can't actually put a date on any of it?

Are you able to say whether or not the plans to reopen the pool will include housing and/or a GP's surgery being developed on the site?
Sorry no. But an update will be given at the Shoreditch Neighbourhood Committee meeting 7pm Tuesday 24 March at Hoxton Hall, 130 Hoxton Street. All welcome.

Did you not defend the council to the hilt over the Broadway Market sell-offs?
No I never did. I was not a Councillor when the properties in Broadway Market were sold off and anyway I have never been involved with developments in Broadway Market. Im a Councillor for Haggerston ward not Queensbridge ward.
BarryB
indeed .. so maybe there is something you would want to share with the rest of us?
Not. Question. I. Asked.
I have distinct memories of you slagging of Boff, IWCA et al when they were campaigning for Tony's Cafe and Spirit, back in about 2003/4, and defending the council's sell-off of properties.
I can assure you that I have never defended the sell-off of council properties. I may have slagged off Andrew Boff but considering he is a leading member of the Tory party in Hackney I willingly confess to that. As for your dates of 2003/2004 I thought the Tonys cafe and Spirit business was later. 2005/2006 I think. And anyway during most of the Broadway Market business I wasant active in Haggerston or Queensbridge. I only got involved in the area in February or March 2006. Also I never slagged of the IWCA over Broadway Market for the simple reason that when I got active it had become Hackney Independent. Before 2006 I was active in Lea Bridge ward. But seriously are you sure you arent getting me mixed up with someone else?

Typical politician's non-denial denial. It's you I'm thinking of alright.
If I knew your name I might have some memory of meeting you. But your memory dosent seem that good as far as getting dates and names of political groups right.
Please tell us the exact details of postings where I defended the sell off of properties in Broadway Market
i am not sure you did tbh
.. but equally you never to my memory supportted those who were fighting the sell offs though did you?
all you were intrested in was that one desperate individual ( shuter) thought it was a good idea to support the local cllr ( a tory ) who was also fighting the council on these issues .. you never asked yourself why?
IF there were labour cllrs or candidates who had been against what the council did on BM do you not think people would have backed them similarly? to you it all became one big tory conspiracy lol
Ah, my mistake
You didn't "defend the sell off of properties in Broadway Market."
You merely "attacked those who were fighting the sell off."
All, as you candidly admit on the other thread, for the noble and heroic reason that there were no votes in it for you for defending Broadway Market.
You're a real RFK des nos jours, Barry, and now you've been deselected by your mates in New Labour, don't listen to any of the naysayers and cynics on these boards who think you're just a dessicated, rancid politico.

Exactly what do you do to improve the conditions of the people of Hackney
E9? Or are your politics limited to yapping away on Urban 75?
